New Workshop! Planning for a Literacy Grant Application

Attend this workshop at the Middletown Library Service Center on Thursday, November 29, 9:30-12:30, to learn how to develop a compelling LSTA literacy grant application:

· identify your target audience, what motivates them, and how you know what they need

· describe the project activities by addressing who, why, what, where, when, and how

· identify project costs, and compose a project budget

Also learn about the wide range of literacy resources available from the State Library to support your projects, and talk with State Library experts about existing programs and partners who can help your project succeed.

This workshop is not required for LSTA literacy grant applicants but is strongly encouraged. Register online.

One-year literacy grants will provide up to $7,500 to assist libraries with creating strategic, sustainable partnerships and lifelong learning programs that address the seven literacies (basic, early, civic/social, digital/information, financial, health, and legal) in their communities.

The following types of libraries are eligible to apply:

· Principal public libraries

· School libraries

· Academic libraries

· Special libraries

More information about the grants is online at http://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/dld/lstagrants/grantapplication.
